PEETZ --The Peetz Lady Bulldogs played host to the Weldon Valley Lady Warriors on Friday. The Lady bulldogs faced a tough challenge as Weldon Valley sits atop the North Central League and is believed by many to be the best 1A team in state right now.

Peetz battled hard, especially in the first set, but could not stop the Warriors, falling in three with scores of 25-21, 25-8 and 25-15.

Morgan Burns gave a good effort on the attack as the junior put up eight kills in the contest. Freshman phenom Mikenna Curlee had six kills, the only other Peetz player with more that one. Burns and Curlee had the only stuff blocks of the contest for the Bulldogs, with one each.

Jaclyn Neinheuser and Mackenzie Meier both had aces. Both girls are seniors and setters. Neinheuser had seven assists and Meier had nine.

Caitlynn Peetz led the team with 16 digs in the loss.

Weldon Valley put up 10 aces to take the edge and Kelsea Eskew had 12 kills to help put things away.

Peetz is now 7-11 overall and 4-6 in league play. They play their final game of the regular season tonight at Merino.
